FRANCHISING FASCISM, OUTSOURCING DEATH

Government fuels Blackwater's rise
October 15, 2007

Theres no other place quite like Blackwater, at least not in private hands. The complex anchors a training and security operation that is one of the governments fastest-growing contractors, and a fixture and a flashpoint of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In a decade, Blackwaters revenue from federal government contracts has grown exponentially, from less than $100,000 to almost $600 million last year. In August, the company won its biggest deal ever, a five-year counternarcotics training contract worth up to $15 billion shared with four other companies.

Blackwaters extraordinary rise would not have been possible without a swirl of historic forces, including sharp cuts in military and security staffing in the 1990s, the Bush administrations drive to outsource government services to the private sector...

Franchising fascism
and outsourcing death
Isnt this such a pretty business
to take away your breath?

Theres dollars in mayhem
and ruthless acts,
in blackshirted commerce
using twisted facts

Create an army of cold-hearted,
killing machines
And so realise your nightmares
and monetary dreams

It has reached some point
when you outsource slaughter
Meet more of Bushs friends,
the infamous Blackwater
